Not here to tempt but.. we now carry proper pony bits sizes 4"-4.5" and they are hands down the cutest addition to our line up.

They are mini versions of their bigger cousins with a smaller mouthpiece size (15mm down to 12mm, 17mm down to 13mm, the 10mm stay the same) and the cheek sizes are reduced by 80%.

All of our most popular mouthpieces available in baucher, dee, loose ring and eggbutt cheeks! Baby pelhams coming up soon too 😉

Any pony owners here overdue for a new bit?!

Join me for a packed 2 hours of discovery into that tiny bone- the navicular bone- more correctly known as the distal sesamoid.

UK time 14 Nov 2024 7 pm

You may have heard the term “Navicular changes” on ray. But what does it mean? What on earth is going on inside your horses foot?

Join me in this journey of discovery looking deep into navicular syndrome and what it actually means.

I’ll be using real wet slices of hooves to train your eye and help you understand it in an easy and thought provoking way.

The video will be sent to you a few days after class.

I’ll show you “navicular issues” in the early stages and end stages and you will understand seeing real life working samples.

45usd.

See comments for details how to get your spot!

Really looking forward to it!

I know there are webinars advertised all the time and I know your money and time is precious. I offer you a refund if the class does not give you what you need. I know that my classes are very much enjoyed and that the material is not old chewed our stuff. It’s literally unique.

A couple of testimonials:

From C
I loved Lindsey's zoom.
The best part is she doesn't try and baffle you.
She is so passionate about passing on her knowledge.
I think she realises her intelligence can be intimidating to people like me😆
And has the ability to make you feel capable of getting your head around rocket science 🤣
Thank you Lindsey ###

From S

Hello Lindsey, and a very big thank you for a stellar presentation yesterday.! You made such a first class job of a much needed topic for those of us attending. Really appreciated it and learned lots!
Looking forward to your next class!!

All my horses are absolutely fine getting dewormed because I give them treats in syringes regularly. They weren't always good about it.
When I obtain a new horse, I soon find out that they think it is absolute horror to have a tube put in the mouth. They will learn.
It is a process but well worth the time

After seeing multiple videos posted by various breeders bragging about their 2 ½ year olds/recently turned 3 year olds and sharing videos of them cantering around in the arena, I have decided to once again circulate the below article.

First of all, breeders *should* have the knowledge to understand a horse’s fragile and slow maturing musculoskeletal system. Breeders should not condone their own horses let along anyone’s horses being cantered around under saddle at an incredibly young age. Period. This sets a terrible example and is quite honestly animal abuse. Just because a horse does not object does not mean it is right. And quite frankly, most of the videos posted show animals that are already in pain or developing pain…

As breeders, we should strive to produce healthy and sound animals. We should promote horsemanship that produces long term soundness. No, starting a horse later does not guarantee soundness. But it certainly helps.

I am a firm believer in scientifically backed approaches to horsemanship. You can’t argue with science that has been proven time and time again. Let’s dispel some stupid rumors:

1. There is no such thing as a (skeletally) slow maturing horse or one that is fast maturing. No horse is skeletally mature before the age of 6. And that is on the low estimate for age.

2. Growth plates are not just in the knee. Every bone behind the skull has a growth plate. Not every single one needs to be converted to bone before starting. There is a schedule of when bone fuses…this is the information needed to know when to start a horse. Not their outward appearance. It is a known fact that during growth, proprioceptive awareness can regress, greatly increasing the risk of injury.

3. Starting a horse is not the same thing as riding a horse. Starting a horse does not mean cantering it 3-4 days a week in an arena.

4. Injecting a horse that is in pain does not mean you fixed a problem. You masked it.

5. You can build correct muscle and teach a horse how to move their body from the ground. This creates a solid foundation to work from once your horse is ready to actually be backed. Teach a horse to use its body correctly before backing and you’ll save yourself a lot of vet bills down the line.

Hocks are “late” for maturity. The growth plates on the tibial and fibular tarsals do not fuse until a horse is 3-3 ½. Ever wonder why so many horses seem to have hocks issues?? Horses need to learn to carry themselves and their own weight well before adding a rider.

The growth plates that are LAST to close are at the base of the neck. This area is where we ask a horse to raise the base of their neck and come round. If under too much stress, the growth plates can fracture or be permanently damaged.

There are DOZENS of activities you can do with a young horse to build healthy muscular development. None of them involve a saddle or your weight on their back. Teaching a horse to carry themselves correctly BEFORE adding a rider is essential and cannot be done in a week. A 2 ½ year old horse is a baby. Mentally and physically. We see far too many injured performance horses at VERY young ages - broken down and/or sour from work. It’s wrong. Period. They need slow and steady work and need time to recover from even the slightest of injuries.

PLEASE, if you are considering when you should start your horse and what that work load should look like, please read the below. There are some wonderful things you can do with your young developing horse. Please don’t rush a year out of greed.

Had a great time helping with the first hitch for this lovely pony and her owner.
She let us put her to the cart with minimal concern.
A well fitted harness is in the works.

Ride until you can't.
There is nothing telling you that you Can't except you. Your "You" can be a bad influence and be debilitating. Tell that "You" to go to hell and invite back in the "You" that says "You go girl"

Agador's bits are perfect and we received a cap and I love the colour of it.
I am thrilled that my pony loves his new bit. My other horses are so happy with their bits from Agador's and now my driving pony gets to be on the same happy scale :)
